While the Mormon elders and disciples
are eongregated in convention, endeavor-
ing to frame a constitution for the pur-
pose OF gaining admission to the Union as
a State, their missionaries are actively
engaged in securing converts at the South,
intoxicating polygamous ideas. Utah can't
come in on any such conditions. Polygamy
must be absolutely prohibited, both by
constitution and preaching.
Professor" Baldwin, another man hard
up ior fame, drops over three thousand
feet from balloon by the aid of q para
chute, shaped like an umbrella eighteen
feet in diameter. The descent occupied
three minutes and twenty seconds. The
Professor doubtless thinks that in his
tory his name will be as prominent as
that of him who risked his life on the bat.
tlefeld in patriotic service, but he mistakes.
He will pass from memory as have others
OF the same kind.
